Terrance shook his head slightly. At that moment, a commotion suddenly came from outside the Gym, and the person arriving seemed to be in a great hurry.
After quickly rushing out, Terrance heard the person’s explanation clearly.
“Gym Leader Terrance, a Pokémon that has never been seen before has appeared in Fallarbor Woods. Some tourists tried to catch it, but they were all driven back. Now many Trainers have rushed over as well, but since Fallarbor Woods is a tourist area, we and the police have already sealed it off. You should hurry and take a look, if the facilities inside are damaged, it’ll be a big problem.” The administrator in charge of Fallarbor Woods explained while catching his breath.
“Thank you.” Terrance nodded quickly.
At this time, Fallarbor Woods had already been sealed off. Officer Jenny was sweating; in the past two days, one incident had followed another, giving no one any peace.
The biggest issue was that very few Trainers were obedient, making them hard to manage. This was the most troublesome part.
“Ma’am, all personnel have been evacuated. However, that Pokémon is extremely strong and has shown a high level of threat. The guard Pokémon in Fallarbor Woods couldn’t even last a single exchange before being driven back.”
Hearing the report from her subordinate, Officer Jenny looked up at the pitch-black sky and said, “It’s fine. Next, we’ll leave it to those Pokémon to handle… and then we wait for Master Terrance.”
Within Fallarbor Woods, countless butterflies filled the sky, flying in from all directions and gradually forming a colossal creature. The intertwining of Moonlight and Morning Sun highlighted the majesty of its twin wings, while its crimson eyes and golden crown symbolized the majesty of this Fallarbor Totem.
With an unknown and highly dangerous creature intruding into the strictly guarded Fallarbor Woods, and after numerous tourists and lone Pokémon had been repelled, the Beautifly and Dustox immediately launched a counterattack on their own.
A torrent-like Bug Buzz surged forward, but their opponent—a Pokémon resembling a symbiotic fusion of a tree and a deer—merely swayed slightly, and the entire forest was engulfed in a pink mist.
Misty Terrain!
The Bug Buzz attack launched by hundreds of Pokémon seemed to sink into nothingness, not stirring the slightest ripple.
But at that moment, cracks began to form across the ground of Fallarbor Woods… and then more and more cracks spread.
“Beautifly, fall back.”
Soon, before the butterfly swarm could clash with the mysterious creature a second time, Terrance’s voice rang out.
Xerneas!
Having rushed over, Terrance felt a jolt in his heart when he saw this Legendary Pokémon from the rumors. He couldn’t understand why a Legendary Pokémon from the Kalos region would suddenly appear in the Hoenn region.
“Come with me.”
Upon seeing Terrance, Xerneas immediately used Telepathy. Then, without looking back, surrounded by prismatic light, it flew toward the direction of Mt. Chimney.
At the same time, Little Beautifly acting as the core of the swarm, having received Terrance’s command, quickly dispersed its companions, sending the Pokémon back to their respective posts.
“Don’t worry, leave this to me,” Terrance said softly to the Little Beautifly that had landed on his shoulder. Falling into thought, he then quickly headed toward Mt. Chimney.
Three minutes later.
Altaria, Arcanine, Mismagius, Gallade, Gardevoir, Castform, Beautifly, Tyranitar, Ninetales… all of Terrance’s main Pokemon had gathered at Mt. Chimney.
The moment they spotted Xerneas in a remote area of Mt. Chimney, Altaria and Gallade who had Mega Evolved, and several Pokémon launched a fierce assault.
Unfortunately, Altaria’s Fairy Aura was suppressed by Xerneas. For the first time, Terrance’s Fairy-type army found itself powerless against an opponent and could only resort to other methods to fight back.
Although there hadn’t been enough time to arrange tactics, every Pokémon here was battle-hardened. As the clash continued, Xerneas gradually fell into a disadvantage.
“Where is that Pokémon?”
At the critical moment when Xerneas was being pushed back step by step, it seemed to have had enough. It began absorbing energy from the entirety of Mt. Chimney, instantly unleashing a powerful burst of light that forced back all of Terrance’s Pokémon.
“You mean Diancie? Because of its recent mutation, its condition is still unstable, so it’s currently resting inside the Poké Ball,” Terrance said.
At this moment, the battle between both sides came to a halt.
The fighting intent Xerneas had shown at the beginning was the key reason for Terrance’s contemplation. After thinking it through… Xerneas was probably trying to test his growth.
“Xerneas, that move just now… what was it?” Terrance asked curiously.
Facing the siege of nine top-tier Pokémon, even a Legendary Pokémon like Xerneas had been pushed into a disadvantage. But once it used that special move, its combat power increased dramatically, repelling all nine Pokémon with a single move. Truly terrifying strength.
“Geomancy. It allows me to directly draw upon the life energy and Fairy energy from nature to strengthen myself,” Xerneas said slowly, its gaze fixed seriously on Terrance.
“I came for you.”
“It’s because of this, right?” Terrance awkwardly stretched out his hand. The Fairy Mark Xerneas had given him had been used up. He didn’t know if he could get another one.
Under Xerneas’s gaze, after it gave a slight nod, one of the Poké Balls at Terrance’s waist suddenly began to shake violently. Diancie… suddenly broke free from the Poké Ball, appearing within Xerneas’s Fairy Aura with a dazed expression.
“You are…” If Xerneas’s Telepathy conveyed the voice of a mature woman, then Diancie’s newly acquired Telepathy after its mutation carried the voice of a young girl, clear and melodious.
In the next moment, Diancie was enveloped by Xerneas’s Fairy Aura, as if completing its final transformation.
“So it really is Diancie. I didn’t expect that besides the lineage of the Diamond Domain, there would be other Diancie,” Xerneas said, its gaze distant. “You borrowed the power of Fairy Aura, didn’t you?”
“Yes.” Terrance nodded subconsciously, then asked, “Xerneas, why does a Carbink lose its previous memories after mutating?”
Because of Diancie’s birth, the disappearance of the Fairy Mark, and the arrival of Xerneas—the being who governs life among the three deities of the Kalos region—Terrance had many questions he wanted answered.
However, Xerneas did not answer them directly. Instead, it gestured for Terrance to recall his Pokémon and sit on its back.
At this moment, Diancie had already completed its bathing in Xerneas’s Fairy Aura and received the same invitation as Terrance. The two immediately exchanged a glance…
“You want us to ride on you?” Terrance asked nervously upon hearing Xerneas’s request. Riding a Legendary Pokémon, wasn’t that a bit too much…
Although confused, Terrance and Diancie ultimately sat on Xerneas’s back. Immediately afterward, they were enveloped in a rainbow-colored light.
Within the rainbow light, he and Diancie seemed to enter another world. Although they lost their perception of the outside, Terrance vaguely felt as if he had traveled a long distance, arriving at a familiar place.
When he opened his eyes again, Terrance looked around in confusion and couldn’t help but ask, “Where is this?”
“Kalos,” Xerneas said as it walked slowly through the forest.
